Before we begin chapter 13, I want all of you to know how just how overwhelming it is to receive so much positive feedback. Both in the comments and your direct messages that I never expected would drive me to continue when I took the leap into writing my first story.
I love getting lost in a novel with good characters and multiple plots, so being the first attempt at writing anything, much less erotica, know that writing is not a comfort zone for me. I realize the first several chapters were shaky in sentence structure and grammar, and hopefully my writing is improving with each chapter.
Honestly, when I started this, I planned a quick in and out, {pun intended) with just a few chapters, ending at 5 to get my feet wet. I really didn't think this would continue anywhere near this many chapters. Finding enough time to get a single chapter a month completed to my liking isn't easy, yet I feel compelled to continue with the growing number of followers and comments asking for more.
With that said, Andy and Jill's big date is just around the corner as the characters in this budding relationship seem to be finding their place. Enjoy!

Jill turns off the alarm, it's 6 am, rubbing her eyes, being the mom that she is to make sure Ashley is up for her run. She slips into her fuzzy house shoes, satin lavender robe hemmed with lace and matching drawstring shorts, making her way into the shared bathroom.
She finds Ashley already dressed in a pair of loose, mid-thigh length running shorts, sports bra with a white sleeveless tank top over, and shorty socks in front of the mirror, pulling her hair up into a high ponytail to keep it up and off her neck.
"Mom, you didn't need to get up this early for me!" Pulling her hair tight in the scrunchy.
"I knew you wanted to run and didn't want you to oversleep." sitting on the toilet, watching, "It's still dark out, you sure you'll be, ok?"
"Yes mom," a bit of frustration that she still sees her as a little girl at times, "I'll be fine, I'm wearing white and there's only like eight or nine houses between here and the highway."
"You plan to run all the way to the highway and back?" a touch of concern in her voice.
"Well, if I'm going to get a mile in, yes, I think it's about a half mile each way," walking back into her bedroom.
Jill, wanting to feel ok with her running alone before dawn, re-assures herself, knowing there is little traffic back this road, and they don't live in a dense subdivision anymore to cause concern. Left alone in the bathroom, she splashes her face and brushes her hair before heading into the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. The coffee maker displays 6:12am.
Ashley walks into the living area to sit in a chair to tie her running shoes as Jill watches.
"You want to take a bottle of water with you?" As Ashley makes her way into the kitchen, a towel hangs around her neck, ready to take off.
"I'm good," walking up to her mom, planting a kiss on her cheek, then standing back to look her in the eyes.
"What was that for?" Tilting her head with a smile, feeling a mother's pride. Her daughter has grown up to be a hardworking, well rounded, loving young woman. In just a couple of months she will graduate, then off into the world.
"I've been thinking about it all morning," an innocence washes over Ashley's expression. "You are like, I don't know...like the best mom a girl could ever wish for."
"Honey...That is the sweetest thing to say!" A startled look, "What brought that on?"
"Really, you don't know?" With a puzzled look, "I mean, I know you're crazy about Andy, and yet you were so calm about last night. I wish there was some way, more than just words, that I could tell you how much I love you."
Jill's heart is melting, "Oh honey, I love you too."
"Mom, I am so in love with Lana, but to finally experience new things is..." A brief pause as Jill takes in her innocent teen face. "It wouldn't be happening without you. You are just such an awesome mom," her eyes twinkle, her sincerity is obvious.
Jill's eyes are getting misty, recalling that terrible time when Ashley seemed to be her only friend, always there when she needed her, reaching to brush her cheek, returning her gaze, "Oh honey, you better get going so you can shower and not be late for school."

I've had a restless night, and the sound of the front door has me roused. Laying there in bed, the usual thoughts of work come to mind first as most mornings', its Friday, subs are looking to get paid, do the tractor deal with Bobby, see how muddy that hole is, as the memory of last night takes over'.
'Ashley laying back into my chest, getting damn good with her hands, that tight little pussy squeezing my finger, and Jill finding it erotic to just watch and masturbate. It's getting harder and harder to wait until tomorrow night to tell her how I feel that I want her to stay, to share my bed and be my partner in life.
After a quick trip to the bathroom to get myself together, I find the coffee is made, a cup waits for me, and no one is around. I pour myself a cup and walk over to the atrium door to see what this Friday morning brings.
I walk outside to find Jill sitting with crossed legs pulled up on the sofa, holding her cup in her lap with both hands, seemingly deep in thought. She's wearing her fuzzy over the knee socks, the lavender robe is tied at the waist, yet freely hanging open exposing a full side view of her breast as she turns to greet me.
"The rain is gone, but a little nippy," with a warm morning smile. She is beautiful as ever.
"Ashley out running?" As I make way to sit beside her.
"Yes," with a deep breath and a long exhale.
"What's up?" I'm concerned now, wondering if she's having second thoughts about Ashley and me being alone last night.
"That daughter of mine," taking a sip of coffee before looking over at me, her eyes a little misty, "Andy, she is so happy, and she told me as much this morning."
"Then why the sad face?"
"I'm not sad, I feel blessed, and I can't remember being as happy as I am right now." Surveying the yard, composing herself, "For her, for me, everything here seems so perfect."
"Don't forget about me, I'm pretty damn happy too," placing my arm around her shoulder. Jills gives a crooked little smile, but I know something is on her mind. "Come on, talk to me."
She looks back out across the yard, letting that linger while taking another sip of coffee, then turns to look at me. Her eyes are soft, unsure.
"Andy, I don't want to stir up any bad memories, but we have been here almost two weeks, and I know hardly anything about you." Still looking out in the yard.
